Highly Dense And Vertically Aligned Sub-5 nm Silicon Nanowires


A new technical paper titled "Catalyst-free synthesis of sub-5 nm silicon nanowire arrays with massive lattice contraction and wide bandgap" was published by researchers at Northeastern University, Korea Institute of Science and Technology, Gyeongsang National University and others. "Here, we prepare highly dense and vertically aligned sub-5 nm silicon nanowires with length/diameter aspect r... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: Jan. 10


Muscle-tracking clothing Researchers from the University of Utah and Gyeongsang National University developed a low-cost bioelectrical sensor that can be integrated into clothing. The sensor measures electromyography (EMG) signals that are generated in muscles when they contract. EMG signals are useful for studying muscle fatigue and recovery and could potentially be used to inform diagnosi... » read more
